Tebow to interrupt the Super Bowl to rant about abortion

Even if you don't follow football, you've probably heard of Tim Tebow. He's the quarterback of the University of Florida Gators who says over and over and over and over that he puts his love of Jesus above everything, aside from football and using his professed love of Jesus to appear before every television camera ever manufactured.
It looks like Tebow has finally realized that televised college football probably isn't the best place for him to proselytize. So he's now moved on to the Super Bowl, even though he's not technically in it. From Slate:
Do we really need political issue ads running during the Super Bowl? Is it wrong for CBS to take the money? And if Tebow is such a devout Christian, then why is he wasting his time playing football?

It's been an entire two weeks since Tim Tebow was in the news, so God's favorite quarterback is back in action. But this time he's not on the field (football or mission); he's in the studio, filming a pro-life commercial that will be aired during the Super Bowl Feb. 7. Tebow will appear with his mother, who was told she should get an abortion when she got sick during a mission trip in the middle of her fifth pregnancy. She refused and instead gave birth to a baby boy who would become Heisman Trophy- and National Championship-winning quarterback. Tebow's 30-second spot, which will cost about $2.8 million, is being paid for by the evangelical group Focus on the Family (actually, by a handful of its donors, who gave money specifically for the making of the ad). The broadcast will come a year after Catholicvote.org filmed a pro-life Super Bowl commercial that NBC refused to air. The network said it didn't want ads about "political advocacy or issues." CBS is apparently cool with political advocacy, as long as it's Tim Tebow doing the advocating. But an online backlash has already started, and some sports fans wonder whether the ad will tarnish Tebow's reputation before he sets foot on an NFL field.

Why the crap did I ever make my original name "cloudeagle?"

Also, it's fine with me if Focus on Family wants to pour money down the toilet.

Oh, right, political ads might induce some critical thinking. That's the last thing we want in the middle of supermarket Sunday.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Then again... I want to laugh at shit, not have a guy tell me how he was almost aborted and grew up to be soooooooooo awesome.
I'm not seeing how these notions are in conflict.

And Tebow was almost aborted by his christian mother? Even if the story is true, I find that hard to fucking believe that devout christian parents would even consider any type of aborting whatsoever. That story is really suspcious sounding to me.
I wonder who put Tebow up to this?
Now, I think they are well within their right to spew a political statement during the Super Bowl. Might as well get people to think about shit that matters rather than fail miserably at being clever about whatever beer you're pitching.
Wiki is stating that his mother had complications with him during pregnancy to the point of infection and the doctors recommended abortion, to which she refused. So this would qualify as almost aborted. So it was less a crisis-of-faith and more practical medial issue.

Oh ho ho, touche sir.
I know every QB thanks Jesus for making the ball go, but I thought Greg McElroy was God's favorite quarterback at the moment.
You mean all of the babies born after women were violated through sexual abuse and rape will grow up to be college football stars?
I am sorry but this makes me sick.. this is the Super Bowl. Not Sunday morning Catholic Church.

Is Tebow saying we should be against mandatory abortion? Is that a pressing issue worthy of lofty ad time?
I want to put something together here about incest giving offensive guards Retard Strength.
It's the same thing as the Palins. Sarah and Birstol are on the cover of People or whatever the fuck magazine this week with the quote, "We're so glad we chose life!"
Bitch, if it was up to you, you wouldn't have gotten to fucking choose!

Because he needs to start making that pitch post haste.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
But its on Super Bowl SUNDAY, a game that desecrates the Sabbath. We are heathens destine to hell. Its only fitting that this message is on a SUNDAY. After all..its God's will.
And then there will be darkness......

Perhaps he's trying to pull us asses out of a pit.
A baby.
I agree. We have a winner.

Exactly.
So what is the point of putting this commerical out when the majority of Americans are Pro-Life anyway?
Don't let your unborn child be like Hitler.
Thank you, sir, for breaking us out of this self-congratulatory limefest at the risk of your reputation by saying something that is completely wrong. Way to take one for the team.

PM Sent , to prevent you from contributing to Godwinning this thread. Have an awesome day sir.
Honestly, I dont see how some cry baby loser like Tebow is a great persuasion not to have an abortion.
Fixed.
These days, I think randomly predicting the Godwinning of a thread when the thread is in no danger of getting Godwined is pretty much the same as actual Godwinning.
